I am trying to display a string of text in a multiline edit
control within a dialog box.  The string contains standard
C formatting characters such as '\t' and '\n'.

The formatting works OK in MessageBoxs but will not
display in the edit control.  All that is displayed is
one long line with a few square bars where the formatting
characters are.

Any tips would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

To display line breaks in a multiline edit control, you have to
use the old #13#10 DOS combination. \n alone will not work
(as you have just discovered).  Welcome to windows.
